As I pointed out on Twitter or X as it's now called, I was looking at a list of metropolitan areas in the United States. And what I found was that the cities that have the most explosive growth in population are all in hot areas. We're talking metro areas in North Carolina, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia, that sort of thing. The formerly cool metropolises in the Northeast or on the West Coast are not doing so well. I'm not going to go into the why of this for now, but it is pretty clear that America is changing socially.
What I do find interesting is that despite the climate cult that has grown up again in recent years, it doesn't really inform anybody's decisions about where to live. We are supposed to believe that the Sun Belt is going to be uninhabitable in the future, but that's where everyone is moving. Seems they don't actually believe that this is taking place. So, even though many people professed to believe in climate change, they act like they don't. That is to say, propaganda has basically no effect on real world decisions. It's kind of like how we're going to transition to green energy and EVs, but we're using more fossil fuels than ever and there are more ice vehicles on the road than ever. There's the cult, and then there's the facts.
That doesn't mean that NetZero is not happening or not a problem. Here in the Upper Midwest they are trying to force that through policy. The winter in this region is very cold. If they get aggressive about destroying the coal power plants here, enforcing us to rely upon an intermittent source, then we will face the choice between freezing in the dark or cutting down the pristine forests that we've allowed to grow back up in the last 100 years to burn for fuel. And by the way, that's not good for carbon emissions either. Do you really think people are going to be compelled to just freeze in the dark when they will have forests to cut down? These are things nobody seems to think about, even the smart people.
